2014 Progressive International Motorcycle Show - Part 10

Dave Polgreen and "Watermelon" Pete Mason both took home prizes for their bikes entered at the 2014 Progressive International Motorcycle Show. I took pictures of all three of these bikes multiple times over the course of 2013 at various bike shows and bike nights.

First up is Dave's Black Orpheus, a 1937 Harley UL flathead with paint by Tom Fugle. This bike is insane. Sadly, the tank was just recently damaged, which is why there is a business card stuck to it like a band-aid.

This is Dave's digger, a 1966 Harley shovelhead in a genuine 1970s Arlen Ness frame.

Finally, here's Pete's 1940 Harley knucklehead.

If you haven't figured it out after 10 posts and over 130 photos, the 2014 Progressive International Motorcycle Show was a good time. I look forward to it every January and this year certainly didn't disappoint. Don't miss it in 2015!

About

Gophers and Cheese is a motorcycle blog focused on riding and events in Minnesota and Wisconsin near the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. With very rare exception (such as event flyers), all of the photos and written content are completely unique and original to this site.

I bought my first motorcycle (my Sportster) in 2006 and have been hooked ever since. I started the blog in 2010 because (1) I found it really difficult to find out what events were going on locally and (2) I just really like to take photos.

The blog's name "Gophers and Cheese" simply refers to Minnesota (The Gopher State) and Wisconsin (America's Dairyland), which is where I do the vast majority of my riding. I admit that it's a strange name for a motorcycle blog, but it keeps me (and everyone else) from taking it too seriously.
